第 第 PAGE 1 页 The gift and power of emotional courage 情感勇气的天赋和力量 Susan David 2017 Hello everyone, sawubona. 大家好,你们好！ In South Africa, where I come from,“sawubona” is the word for “hello”. Theres a beautiful and powerful intention behind the word, because “sawubona” literally translated means “I see you and by seeing you, I bring you into being.”So beautiful, imagine being greeted like that. But whatdoes it take in the way we see ourselves? our thoughts, our emotions a our stories that help us to thrive in an increasingly complex and fraughtworld? 在我的家乡南非，sawubona是祖鲁语你好的意思。这个词语蕴含着美好和力量，因为sawubona的字面意思就是：我看到你，而通过这个动作，我感受到了你的存在。想象一下用这个词语打招呼，多么美妙啊。但又是什么让我们在自我发现的旅途中，发现我们的思维，我们的情感以及我们的故事，鼓舞着我们在日益复杂而充满忧患的世界坚定前行？ This crucial question has been at the center of my life s work. because how we deal with our inner world drives everything. Every aspect of how we love, how we live, how we parent and how we lead. the conventional view of emotions as good or bad, positive or negative is rigid. and rigidity in the face of complexity is toxic. We need greater levels of emotional agility for true resilience and thriving. 探索这个问题的答案是我一直以来工作的重心，因为我们对待内心世界的方式决定了我们如何对待一切事物，包含很多方面：如我们如何去爱，我们如何为生，我们如何生儿育女以及我们如何带领他人。关于情感的传统的观点，不管是好的还是坏的，不管是积极的还是消极的，都太死板，而在复杂的世界中，死板是有害的。我们需要在更深的层次灵活看待情感，以真正的适应世界，更好地成长。 My journey with this calling began not in the hallowed halls of the university, but in the messy, tender business of life. I grew up in the white suburbs of apartheid South Africa, a country and community committed to not seeing, to denial. Its denial that makes fifty years of racist legislation possible while people convince themselves that they are doing nothing wrong. And yet I first learned of the destructive power of denial at a personal level, before I understood what it was doing to the country of my birth. 我对情感的探索并不始于大学空旷的礼堂，而是我生活中那些杂乱而又触动人的小事。在种族之间相互隔离的南非，我住在白人社区，这是一个倾向于视而不见的国家和社区，倾向于否定，这种否定让种族歧视合法化持续了五十年。因为人们一直告诉自己他们没有做错什么，但是从我个人的角度，在我第一次意识到，否认事实的巨大破坏力之后，我才理解了，回避对一个国家，对于我有多大的伤害。 My
